There are memorial bricks located in the Creston community garden around the planter with the birch trees. If you would like to purchase a brick to p ay a lasting tribute to a loved one or a loved pet, please contact Victoria with the Garden Club at 226-7486 and she'll get you the needed info and form. There are probably about 30 bricks already installed. Proceeds are used to improve our little community garden. It is hoped that funds will be raised to install permanent benches and tables over the next few years. After much research, it has been reported that the picnic tables will cost about $1500.
Thursday, Dec. 4th, 7 PM, Rodeo meeting, everyone is invited. We will have board member elections and talk about next year.
Friday, Dec 5th, 7 PM, CWC Christmas Party at Lisa's home. Bring finger food and a white elephant gift worth $10 or less. All women are invited. Lots of fun at this party. For more info, call Debbie at the number on my contacts page.
Sunday, Dec 7th, 5:30 PM. The church hosts the Annual Tree Lighting Celebration right in front of the small, historic Chapel ( built in 1886 ! ), including the young children's choir from the Joy Club, plus great music, singing of Christmas carols, hay rides. Last year's dessert tables were over 40 feet long full of home made goodies, over 75 choices ! Look for a mass mailing flyer in your mailbox this week ! This is well attended - over 350 people last year. I believe this will be the 20th ceremony, maybe the 21st?
Monday, Dec 8th, Creston Church Christmas Ladies Night out at Emmanuel Heights, hosted by Nancy Gere. Call Ann at 438-3543 for info and directions. Flyers are at church, which has one service at 9 AM each Sunday.
Thursday, Dec 11th, Creston Friends of the Library host a book and bake sale, rain or shine, at our library. Proceeds will benefit our local library. The time is 9AM- 4PM. For more info, check out our local community bulletin board or the library, which is right across the street from the ball fields behind our elementary school. Let's support our Library !
Wednesday, Dec 24th, 9 AM, in front off the post office, the street party that began back in the 20's or 30's according to old timers. Locals make and cook fabulous sausages, breakfast burritos, and a least 20 feet of desserts on tables, plus real cowboy coffee. Has to be seen to be believed. Neighbors visiting with neighbors. Unique to Creston ! Santa has been known to arrive by a horse - drawn carriage around 11 AM and passes out small gifts to each child. The gifts are donated by the Creston Women's Club. Barbara Meek drives the carriage.
If your club has an activity that you would like to post here, please call me at 438-3543. Thanks.
